Dernière virée à vélo avant de rattaquer l'école... Trois jours et demi à vélo pour Chiara et les enfants...encore des très belles rencontres (ou retrouvailles), des beaux moments partagés, des fous rires, des montées éprouvantes, des descentes agréables et des beaux spectacles.
Les piles sont chargées pour la reprise.
Life is good

INTENSE. That is the word that best describes the

INTENSE. That is the word that best describes the past year.

Intense in encounters, in discoveries, sometimes physically too. And all this while taking our time.

Because taking your time, enjoying every moment and every opportunity is the greatest luxury you can afford. Delay no longer exists because there is no longer any imperative. Well, there are some, but they are basic: finding what to eat, where to sleep, where to go... No appointments, meetings or other imposed moments.

Our days often had the same pattern: wake up and discover a new landscape when we get out of the tent, have a hearty breakfast, pack up the tent, have an hour of school (not always easy), then cycle to the picnic by the water, in children's games or in the middle of nowhere. In the afternoon, we cycle again, stopping wherever we want, have a snack, cycle again until we find the best place to camp. And finally, we set up the tent, have a meal, sometimes prepared by the children, and then sleep, wondering what the next day will bring.

But there was never any routine! Every day was different! 11 months and a half, 21 countries, 9500 km, people with different habits and customs but always welcoming, landscapes ranging from the sea to the desert, from the deep canyons to the endless plains, from the mountains to the swamps, from the most amazing, modern or crowded cities to the most peaceful villages, from the 6-lane highways to the small roads that can hardly be driven on, churches, temples, mosques...

And the bicycle? We wouldn't trade it for anything else! It goes fast but not too much, it is ecological and economical, practical, goes everywhere, and it is the best way to meet people, especially with children! The encounters were the rhythm of this trip and are what we liked the most and what marked and enriched us.

We dreamed of a year of sharing as a family. We made it happen but the dream is not over yet. We know that we will travel again, and at home try to be as welcoming as all the people we met.

So go ahead! Don't hesitate! Go cycling with your family, solo, as a couple or with friends. The hardest thing is to leave... or to come back 😉, the rest is just happiness.

What a great arrival!!! We have had great parties

What a great arrival!!!
We have had great parties with friends and family. (And there will be more... 🥳
Dozens of friends cycling with us for the 2 last steps with nice breaks by some lakes.
And to finish we climbed the Lacets de Montvernier where the Tour de France will come in 2 days 🚲 (most of the texts written on the road were for us!)
And at the end we found or home... so wired to be back!

Before the last day I couldn't loose the opportunity of a great "shortcut" 😉.
Instead of a 15 minutes downhill I decided to have a look at the "Pertes de Valserine". Many stairs. 3 hours for 6km...
But it was beautiful!
In the afternoon nice break to swim in a lake and in t evening some friends joined s for a diner along the Rhone.

We spent a great evening in Aurore's garden who hosted us for a night. The day after she decided to join us with her kids! It was so nice discovering Jura's roads with them!

Since Saturday we cycle with more friends! So nice!!! 😃 And Jura roads are beautiful!
We also cycle with stormy weather. Yesterday evening we have had an awesome sky during the last and hardest part of the day. We were hoping to find a road, we found a mountain bike single track. And we arrived at 9pm in a nice refuge where we slept under a big storm...

2 nice camp spots in Switzerland 🇨🇭
One near prehistoric caves and the other near a beautiful green (but cold) lake.
Ths morning steep climb (but beautiful). Short stop to taste tete de moine cheese. 😋 Nice lunch near a dark lake looking like Sweden and then the storms arrived. They were all around us... until they arrived over us. We managed to jump in a train for 15 min to avoid it and in the evening we have had a wonderfull Swiss diner full of Swiss cheese 🧀 with a travelling family (who cycled balkans at the same time as us).
Another great day!

We have really enjoyed these days in Germany! 🇩🇪
Lovely landscapes and very nice people. We found nice wild camping spots, very nice roads and cycling paths we have met such nice people, especially our "Warmshowers" hosts! We had to move forward otherwise we would have stayed longer in this Bavarian region.
